I've learned that seeing this author's name on the cover of a book guarantees a story filled with clues, twists and turns, and surprise endings. A mystery lover's dream and this book definitely fits this description! Killer Deadline introduces Nikki Bryant, her stepbrother Ryan Spaulding, and Elmo, one of the cutest and smartest dogs ever! He is in fact a social media influencer and also very accomplished in doing household chores. Elmo is definitely a major character in this book!
Nikki's return to Pine Grove, Pennsylvania is full of surprises, including becoming involved in several different death investigations. There are multiple clues. multiple suspects, and the possibility of multiple murders, and I found myself going back to check the possibilities. Were there different perpetrators or could one person be responsible? There's also a reunion with her one-time crush. Working with Ryan proves that they make a good team, but it appears that there may be more to their relationship than solving mysteries. Never fear, this is a clean romance, and they aren't truly related!
If you enjoy intriguing characters, a small-town setting, and a second-chance romance, you are going to love this cozy mystery by Lauren Carr! It's the first book in the Nikki Bryant Cozy Mystery Series and I can't wait to read Nikki's next adventure!
I received a copy of this book from the author via iRead Book Tours. There was no obligation for a positive review.
